focus on the importing

I received a fabric swap package from Jen in Tokyo today and it’s eerie how perfect it all is in every aspect. I’ve been brainstorming projects and sketching ideas the past few days and so many of these are just PERFECT for things I have planned. Jen, once again you’ve outdone yourself. You have such a knack for picking out things I’ll love. Thank you so much!

My Book

A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
